Subject: Writers didn't do the show justice and so ends Peary's radio days
After discovering the Great Gildersleeve programs and listening to nearly every show that was made including the Willard Waterman era to find this show with Harold Peary was exciting (at first). The audition show was pretty good but then it went downhill from there until the following spring where they changed some things that made it even more like the old Gildersleeve show but since the original GG was still successful with W. Waterman on NBC there was no reason for this weak imitation to keep going on CBS. Kraft Co. and bad writing on this show finished off radio for Harold Peary and forced him into a bad TV show soon after.

Subject: Honest Harold
Harold Peary role as Honest Harold is somewhat of a continuation of his Gildersleeve role. Same laugh and situations. His fellow actors' roles bear a remarkable resemblance to other Gildersleeve characters. Doc Yak yak (Judge Hooker)and Pete the Marshall (Mr Peavey) His secretary is the same actress (His real life wife) as on GG.
Non the less the plots are entertaining and I recommend it.
